The New Face of the Spa Industry

Gone are the days when the Spa was a bare utilitarian swimming pool or a fitness center with rows of equipment designed by the Spanish Inquisition. As spa treatments and facilities around the world become more plentiful, one becomes harder to distinguish from another.

Only the unique cultural, historical, and natural contexts of a spa site combined with the distinctive design and programs can differentiate the spa experience. At Southwest Institute of Healing Arts we strive to provide our students with the tools to stand out in the crowd. Spa managers have the ability to increase business by developing a tranquil atmosphere with a variety of holistic massage and therapeutic spa treatments.

What We Teach

TThe Certificate of Excellence in Spa Management at SWIHA is uniquely developed to meet the demands of the burgeoning spa market. As a student, you will create and design your own spa complete with a one year and five year financial business plan. Also included in our comprehensive program, you will study; operating budgets, income statements, cash flow analysis, policies and procedures, human resource management, as well as marketing strategies, targeted customer profiles, facility design, and service menus.

The courses in the Spa Management program will teach you to identify the site and location characteristics for a successful spa, understand how to research and identify a competitive spa supply, and assess the strengths and weaknesses. You will also learn about challenges related to the competitive supply, and define existing demand segments, growth trends and new demand sources.
